Standish lost one of its two massive Lexington elms, each over 155 years old, on Dec. 13, 1930. In the picture, Edwin Brazier, left, and Sumner Stanley are "helping" at the crosscut saw. The elm, on the lawn of Edward W. Dolloff's home on West Buxton Road, was cut down because it was considered unsafe. Its massive trunk and limbs when cut into firewood made 10 cords. The trees received their name from the fact that they were set out as young trees upon receipt of news of the Battle of Lexington in April 1775. The other tree was still standing near the old Cram house in the village square.See the full content of this document
